The Pearl Reference One Snare Drum is an evolution in the world of percussion, offering a perfect blend of craftsmanship and cutting-edge design. Crafted from a 5.4mm EvenPly shell, this snare combines four outer plies of North American maple and two inner plies of birch, resulting in a sound that's both rich and articulate. The maple plies deliver a powerful cut and projection, while the birch enhances resonance and tonal balance, making this snare drum ideal for both studio recording and live performances.

Equipped with Mastercast die-cast hoops, the Reference One snare provides exceptional attack and projection, ensuring your sound cuts through any mix. The single swivel STL100 lugs reduce direct shell contact, maximizing the drum's natural resonance and sustain. For added convenience and precision, the SR1000 glide lock strainer includes a locking throw-off lever and a quick push-button release, making adjustments a breeze. Complementing these features are the Ultra-Sound snare wires, known for their dynamic response and sizzle.

Each snare drum is ready to play immediately with its Remo USA Coated Ambassador head on the batter side and a Clear Ambassador on the resonant side. Whether you're a seasoned professional or an enthusiastic amateur, the Pearl Reference One Snare Drum promises to elevate your drumming experience.
